Hi Chris,

Thank you for your comment, I'm a lover too of the old lens  
performances, sometimes really atonishing, IMO they have a large zone  
of depth of field and give nice contrasts and tones. What is to admire  
is the calculations of the old Engyneers, actually the computers made  
thousend of calculations, I thik that this people take decisions  
concerning quite large tolerance zones to have an overall good  
balance, of course not extremely good as a modern lens.  The  
perfection is a great achiefvement of our times but this should not  
distract us of the authentical value of an image.

Saludos
Lluis
